SOME HOPE OF A SETTLEMENT.

| if'or Z close Of the Debt Commits
sions business, Mr.. Royal cabled Tho
council Of bondholders in London, urg
ing them to modify their demand, and
Governor Lee also sent dispatch TO tho
same effect.
A hope remains, therefore, that settle
ment may still be reached.
1t was inlimated that the proposition
recommended by Mr.. Royal would be
acceptable TO the Legislative committee
But the exact estimate the bondholders
put on their side Of the situation, we do
not know.
On the one hand it would look as If
they would like to settle on any reason
able terms, but on the other they may
choose 10 stand on the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court. and hold
the coupons as hostage, so TO speak, for
the fun amount Of principal due them
In the latter case we may think that we
could make it a cold day for the
bondholdcrs, while the stubborn Eng
Usher doubtless feels confident Of making
it very warm for us, and the issue would
DE which could stand # longest.
We are inclined to think that the
Bondholders could, for we fail to see how
the coupons can be buried alive
The theory of oppression and cutting
the "last pound Of flesh are mere
catch words that donot drownthe voice Of
truth which proclaims our sad plight when
we decline to submit to the inevitable
and retrieve our errors by an honest
stand for right
There might be a platform constructed

fact would remain that we reccdcd

Sunday i'll Our Chapel.

Chaplain Matthew held the attention of the con-
gregation very closely on last Sunday despite the
innocent antics of the sweet little child who forms
prominent feature of the picture Presented by
the uniformed guards ranged along the wall upon
the high seats. the soldierly figure OF Deputy
Warden Westby on the platform at the right and
that of his able lieutenant, Asst Deputy Cover on
tie left of the pulp t. The striking comparison
OF the costumes OF the visitors ranged upon seats
on line with the convicts, also presents a novel
sight, and wildly suggests the sharp line which
society has drawn between the two classes OF sim
ners. Nh. Matthew preached from PauPs letter
to the Romans. 18th chapter in which the Apos'
tie compares this life 20 the darkness of night.
and the life TO come as the brightness of day.
Mr.. Matthew said it WIS a striking figure which
the apostle used. 1t is also striking to many minds
among us that there is such prolonged darkness
in our poor world, so much black midnight and SO
little of the brightness of day. If we could only
have a little more daylight might we not get on
some better? The chaplain did not say this, or
explain why it is not He was unfortunate also
in the illustration of the person asleep who is
suddenly awakened to pass into the light of day
that is. the hapless wight cropping amid the dark
ness of this dreaniland world. Woe to him, if the
summons to wake and pass before the judgment
take him unawares, and unprepared Neverthe-
less, after hearing Mr.. Matthew's mastery and
tender presentation of the promises of the gospel
and the claims of the divine law a man must
consider himself, not hapless, but highly culpable
if unprepared when the summons comes to ''join
the innumerable caravan" and render his ac-
count. But, unfortunately. there are many men,
who. the more they hear these things the more
confused thew become with the problems present.

hopeless despair and fall into sleep of troubled

Seen From the Prison Tower.

We see a number of changes in the city, especi-
ally in the building line, many brick blocks rear.
ing their heads in the business portion. The city
appears to have made more such improvements
this season, than it has done in several years.
And still there is demand for more, as the bust
ness stands nearly all rented before the build.
ings are begun.
We see that Mr.. Covell, after couple of months
hard labor. has about finished the sewer across
Main street from the prison, and hereafter the
annoyance of such flooding as we had from the
old sewer, will be done away with.
We see the Car company is getting in an extra
large supply of coal, which goes to show that
siderable manufacturing is expected to be done
the coming season. More work the better for the
city and company.
We see the N w. Mfg & Car Co. has better
storage room and facilities for shipping here than
it can have in any other city in the state, conse-
quently, no matter who buys the plant at the sale
next month, the concern will not be removed
from saltwater. The location is too valuable to
be thrown away.
that the books of the n. W. Mfg 4 Car Co. show
a large business for the past season. not as lars
as last year, but larger than the previous one.
The sales appear well secured, and will make a
good return. The receiver has efficient corps
of workers around HIN.

Henry surround ID by happy family and the
